Rent to own Homes in Charlottesville, VA

Surrounded by History! Being the birthplace of not one, but two American Presidents, Charlottesville is steeped in history.

James Monroe's Ash-Lawn Highland is only minutes from Monticello, and it is the host to the headline performance of the yearly Ash-Lawn Highland Opera Festival.

Charlottesville, VA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $59,598 and a median rent of $1,188, the Charlottesville, VA rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Charlottesville, VA. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.

Great deals can be found! Don't be scared by the average house price of $282,000, as that is skewed by a number of extremely high priced units. You can find great deals on starter homes or rent to own homes in neighborhoods like Belmont and Rose Hill.
